Samsung Pay now supports Regions Bank

If you're in the Southeast and use Regions Bank, know this — you're now supported by Samsung Pay. That means you can now add your puke green debit card or any of your Regions credit cards to Samsung Pay.

And, well, that's it. The big deal here is that, first, there are a ton of Samsung phones out there, with the GS7 and GS6 lines (and the Note 5) supporting Samsung Pay. The second is that Samsung Pay supports that newfangled MST thing wherein you can use your phone to pay anywhere you'd normally swipe a card — meaning that you can use it in far more places than you could Android Pay or Apple Pay. (On the other hand, that sometimes leads to interesting interactions.)

OK,so it is not related to Samsung pay.If I were you,I would go online or call regions and see if they have a minimum amount maintained in account for it to be free.I believe they do,but I cannot recall with 100% certainty. Most banks do want something in the account to provide free services.

I've been banging that drum to capital one and Samsung pay on Twitter for months. My only guess is capital one only wants people to use their capital one wallet app which is only nfc. Very frustrating!
